Yi Chenqi walked to the door and suddenly stopped.
Liu Yuanmeng asked softly, "Your Highness, did I say something wrong? Tell me, and I'm willing to change!" The girl was very humble and was secretly trying to persuade Yi Chenqi to stay.
Yi Chenqi frowned: "From now on, you don't need to call yourself Xiaoyuan'er. I'm not used to it."
Liu Yuanmeng nodded vigorously: "Okay, I will do whatever Your Highness says."
What's your name?
Liu Yuanmeng then realized that the Fifth Prince hadn't even remembered her name.
She quickly said, "My name is Liu Yuanmeng. 'South Garden, green trees, warbling orioles, dreams hard to come by.' My name is in that."
Yi Chenqi nodded: "I understand."
After saying that, Yi Chenqi left the new house without a trace of regret.
It turns out that he couldn't even find a substitute to impersonate her.
She was irreplaceable; Yi Chenqi couldn't lie to himself.
He knew perfectly well what to do on his wedding night, but he simply couldn't bring himself to be with a woman he didn't like.
Yi Chenqi chose to run away.
Yi Chenqi went to the study, drank some hangover soup, and then the butler came in.
"My lord, on such a joyous day, you shouldn't be here alone!"
Yi Chenqi insisted: "It's alright!"
The butler couldn't persuade him and could only sigh.
"Master, for some reason, the plaque at the entrance keeps falling down as soon as it's put up. I've had people try to fix it many times, but it still doesn't work."
Yi Chenqi thought of that annoying and stingy guy.
Besides him, he couldn't think of anyone else who would be so petty as to hold a grudge against his plaque.
Qi Ai Yuan, Qi Ai Garden—Yi Chenqi's unspoken thoughts could only be expressed through a small word game played on the plaque.
Ultimately, it's just to leave myself with something to remember the past.
"Forget it, let's change the signboard tomorrow."
"The original signboard?"
"Bring it to the study." It was just a thought anyway, so whether or not it was hung out wasn't that important to Yi Chenqi.
Yi Chenqi looked at the pile of things in the study: "Are these all gifts from today's guests?"
The butler nodded: "We haven't had time to count them today. We'll put them in the storeroom after you count them tomorrow."
"I understand. You may leave."
After the butler left, Yi Chenqi walked to the gifts brought by the guests and began to search through them.
Yi Chenqi was of noble status, and the guests were all trying to curry favor with him, giving him valuable gifts, including rare antiques and precious calligraphy and paintings... but these were not what Yi Chenqi was looking for.
He continued searching until—
We found a gift box with Lord An's name on it.
He opened the large box, inside which was a small pink box. Yi Chenqi knew that the small pink box must have been given to him by Xiao Yuan'er.
He couldn't wait to open the small box. Inside were all sorts of candies. After pouring the candies out, there was also a bookmark with a daisy drawn on it.
Yi Chenqi opened the small note: "Yi Chenqi, I've owed you a bookmark since we were little. Daisies symbolize happiness, and I hope you can be happy. You returned the candy named An Yuan'er to her, but life can't be without sweetness, eating candy will make you sweet!"
Yi Chenqi carefully placed the bookmark inside the book.
This bookmark, though not the previous one, was given to him by Yi Chenqi's favorite girl, and he liked it very much.
Yi Chenqi understood An Yuan'er's meaning: she wanted him to start over and hoped he and his new wife would be happy. However... Yi Chenqi was too deeply involved; there was no saving him.
